A young man with a pet fawn trot ting behind him attracted attention on a recent afternoon on the White House road la Portland, sayt tht Portland Telegram. The little creature was per fectly tame and on tht approach of a team would timidly rul to the boy't tide, at though tmklng protection. To a well-known Insurance man, who was on the road driving with his wife, th lad had told the story ot bis acquisi tion of the fawn. Pome weeks ago th boy was fishing on tht Tualatin river.

Its neck and one tide ot the besd was covered with bbxxl, ttlll wet, Itt limbs barely supporting Its frail body. Tht boy't first thought was that the waif had been woubded and In attempting to reach water had come out on the river bank at the point of loratlon being the runway, at through sheer weakness, bing unable to go further, had tumbled down to tht stream, landing by his tide, licking the little thing up In his arms, tht lad waded out on the ripple and, waahlng the blod from the fawn's neck, found It uninjured.
